Im shocked Sony would assume that in an unstable economy like this people have $500(system/game/psn/tax) to blow on a game console. Much less have $500 to blow on 1st gen hardware of a console with almost no games and the big games they have have similar experiences on current console(KZ,Infamous, multigen-plats). Shit if Sony sells 5 million by March, Id say XBOX sells 3 Million by then if people are that loose with their cash. I dont See X1 selling more than 1.5 by then or Sony more than 2.5.

PS3 did more than 2.5m at $600... PS4 is $400.

yeah, not sure why some people think it will be very hard to reach that goal. ps3 shipped easily  above 3m till end of march 2007 because vgc says sony sold 2.85m to customers and that with 200 bucks more and with the european release only one week before the end of march and no release in some other markets like mexico...  if ps3 shipped more than 3m with these circumstances and pre-orders probably 3x higher as for ps3 in some markets (well, not 100% sure but could be like that) i would be surprised if they wouldn't ship 5m as long as they can build them. i really expected that sony would say 7m shipped or something like that knowing that they have often too high expectations 7m would not even sound much for what they normally predict.

5m is pretty much the amount they know they can ship and if it will work well for them factories can maybe build even more.

i'm rather one of those guys who don't think that ps4 will sell so unbelievable good as some other think over the next 5 years because i still don't see a huge mass market appeal but i'm very certain that the first 5m will sell like hotcakes. with unbelievable good i mean something like 130m+.
